Guest Blogger - Katie Jo

Since it was Spring-like weather over the weekend, my girlfriend, Katie Jo, and I hung out on a deck for hours. After hearing some of her recent observations, I asked her to be my guest blogger. Here are her thoughts:
The biggest lie promulgated by those who fear lesbians is that they hate men.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
What lesbians can't stand are cheesy men with bad taste.
These are the minds we are seeking to alter. The faster that straight guys start correcting their cheesy ways, the better.
Exhibit A: Tijuana Joe's, Sunday 2:10pm.
Melissa, just back from New York, takes me to get a Margarita and we decide to sit on the deck and enjoy the warm weather.
Sitting on that same deck was a major violator: GROWN ASS MAN WHO SITS HIS SUNGLASS HOLDER ON THE TABLE.
First of all, take it from a lesbian, real men don't have sunglass holders. Do you think Steve McQueen ever worried about scratching his Armani lenses? No!
I'm all for good taste, and it's fine to indulge, but sunglass holders are just you trying to let the other folks on the deck see that you are so financially stable that you can afford those luxurious items from the Sunglass Hut.
Way to go, Champ. Now you are a rich dork.....and the whole deck knows.
Exhibit B: Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport
Busy travelers rush by, and I sit with Melissa waiting for her plane to New York on any ordinary Thursday. My sin is making obscene judgments about a specific group.......men with rolling suitcases.
What the hell, we are not talking about bags that could hold a body. I'm talking about little bags the size of Coach purses being rolled delicately through the terminal by young men who have on Peachtree Road Race t-shirts. Able, young, straight pansy men who need wheels to carry their freaking Coach bags.
Men of America : Pick up your damn bag.
You look like a dork. Don't you feel embarrassed when you wheel past the Iraq veteran home from war? (I saw him laugh at you, by the way.)
There is a reason why the military will never put wheels on duffel bags....they make you look weak. You dorks are wearing me out. Be a man, carry your bag.
I swear I think those guys wheeling there bags through the terminal are walking like they have to pee because deep down they are embarrassed by their own laziness. And they should be.
Here’s the question you need to ask yourself guys: Would John Wayne wheel a bag? No.
Then you shouldn't either. Check or carry buddy....that's all I am asking....you're embarrassing the lesbians. If you are confused about what's acceptable, please direct all questions to our friend, Yogi, a gay guy who knows how to be a man.
You should start your own weekly "guest" blog about this. It's like information overload now days on what a "real" man is now days. The whole "metro sexual" thing threw everything off. I mean my mother taught me how to cook and clean when my parents divorced. So does that mean I'm not a "real man"? Sometimes it seems that your Damned if you do damned if you don't. Oh, and I also can wrap X-mas presents. But other than that you and I are 2-2, because I have said the same damn thing about men like that.
As a straight man, I enjoyed your commentary.

Cheers to Katie-Jo! The Armani sunglass dork was clearly the same jackass that nearly ran me over trying to get into the front door at Whole Foods. Be a gentleman and let us go in first, geez, according to Bert, you get to look at our butts when you do....Need I say more? Great Blog!

I get the first part and agree (yes-Sunglass Dude is dorky/retentive), but the second issue: rolling suitcases. Really? Come on.

So.....Are you saying that gay men are not cheesy and/or have good taste? I know you don't mean ALL straight men (even though it's not stated) but, to me this blog is from a discriminative individual. What about women in the military and the comparison to women who're not in the military? What does that make non military women? Lazy just like the men? To me this observation was made from typical sterotypical lesbian! OOOOOPPPPSSS....did I just stereotype lesbians? I guess that makes me a discrimnative person as well.

Love the commentary! It reminds me of my own blog http://www.commondiscourtesy.com
I totally agree with you on the men think lesbians hate men theory. I'm one that doesn't think that.

I am so proud of KJ and M. I don't agree with many things, at all, but I 100% agree with their right to their own clear and precise opinions. Since I'm a baby-boomer, I grew up watching Father's Knows Best, Hazel and Leave It To Beaver. It took me about 10 years to get over the guilt of not cooking meals in high-heels! Our society seems incapable of loving without judgment. We find it hard to love while disagreeing. We can't lay down our fears and guilt and simply find a way to guide our children to honesty, gentleness, kindness and love. Perhaps the hardest thing as a parent is to simply let them come to the ultimate conclusions about their lives -and trust that they know themselves well enough to know what will give them peace. I know for a fact that Katie Joe and Melissa have loved people that hate them, including people that don't even know them. Their hearts are big as the world, and I can love them individually and together, without always accepting their decisions. But their lives are not mine to control. In fact, I can hardly think of many relationships I would want to mirror, so who am I to say i have it all figured out? But, at this Christmas Season approaches, I am able to say that i am proud that all our daughters are not cooking holiday meals in high-heels! P.S. Katie Jo, watch your language, or I can wash your mouth out with soap anytime! Love ya'll!

Very clever observations. Here's another: Why do a lot of the women from The Bert Show do ads for removing 'nasty' chest and abdominal hair via laser when their "Atlanta's Hottest Guy Ever" contest photo on their website has a HOT man WITH A KILLER CHEST AND ABS WITH HAIR!!!!!!!! Who wants a wimpy man without that outwardly sign that he's masculine??? C'mon! Melissa, I may LOVE a manly man, but YOU ROCK!

Meh. What exactly is being a"man"?
Are we talking about the stereotypical machismo definition? Ironic if that's so.
I would have thought better of someone so seemingly open-minded...

is it me or does it seem strange that a lesbian is commenting on today's man.if a man want's to roll his bag through the airport that's his business. just like you are in love with a woman it is yours.

Straight girls don't like cheesy men with bad taste, either.
